Wishing Well

Damn, Sinner Twin.

I was looking at that photo of Michelle, Jessa, Jinger, and Baby. It would’ve been a beautiful photo, three generations and a close sister coming to help out. Then you delve into it and realize there’s 17 more idiots and Jim Boob behind them back in AR.

Does she even like food? Or does she see it as just fuel for the body? A friend of mine only eats like Jill does, and doesn’t see cuisine as something special and enjoyable. Granted, she’s not trying to be the Pioneer Woman online. But I would imagine that growing up Duggar would have left Jill with a very unrefined palate, so she thinks this is actually good. Derick though, years in Nepal eating and enjoying their food should have left an impression on him, so I wonder how he eats this bland shit without gagging. Ben, on the other hand, you can tell enjoys food. He’s taking over cooking duties and branching out and exploring new things, instead of just Jessa’s slop.

Insurance is no joke. Last year I developed pneumonia (or was cursed by Gwyneth Paltrow) after a Coldplay concert and ended up in the ER. They admitted me upstairs for one overnight to monitor me, and kept me for 10 days. It was a strain of flu that caused it that was very resistant to antibiotics, and the bills kept piling in. X-rays, pills, injections, ICU Darth Vader breathing contraptions...I blew past my $3k deductible on day one and at one point, my brother joked that I should go get some MRIs and blood testing just in case since it would be covered. Funny story, I accidentally got wheeled in for an MRI but before they loaded me into the machine they realized they dragged the wrong patient down! Total cost was $115,000.00. Luckily I work for a great company and my out of pocket was $6000. I also lugged home a giant oxygen tank. If the Duggars really don’t have insurance, I can’t even imagine what their out of pockets are and can see why Derick might’ve gone nuts over it. And it pisses me off. So many want to pay for insurance but don’t have the means to.

Is this a photo of them going to church?? Jinger and Jeremy look fantastic, and JD looks like he got dressed in the dark, but still respectfully. The other two look like idiots off to the grocery store. I grew up Mormon, and if you’re going to church you better have a suit or dress on, hair and makeup done to the nines.

Do y’all remember Amy’s wedding, and she was taking these gorgeous shots with all her bridesmaids, and then the Duggar girls stumped in and blanded the place up. The Duggar girls are the equivalent of unseasoned chicken.

And Miss Smoak! starting to wonder if the Duggars are Arrowverse fans - Gideon AND Felicity. What’s next, Mon El Duggar? Diggle Duggar?

They’d probably be the only people delighted that Nyssa was forced to marry straight. imagine their reaction to my queens Nyssara.

I love Kevin Smith. I never thought much of him until Ace Comic Con this year, where he moderated three panels. Just the ease he spoke with, and how comfortable the stars were around him, most of all Grant Gustin. Kevin was walking with his back turned to us and was late to a panel and we blurted out his name to thank him for moderating, and he physically turned his body around to thank us for coming and for enjoying his panel moderating. It’s just the little things that make you feel special.

Sometimes I wonder if Jessa and Jinger lost some of their closeness after they married. When my cousin moved from China to Canada for school, he made friends with people who he never would’ve hung out with in China because no one else was there. It could’ve been the same for Jinger and Jessa - by default they became the closest. It seems that Jinger’s made some real friends now - good friends, by the looks of the baby shower and gifts they received. So she may not depend on Jessa for companionship anymore, and treats her just as a sister instead. Interesting to me how she seems to need Jana, rather than Jessa flying over and leaving the kids.

I was raised Mormon, and the sacrament room where we had our first hour was very sacred, although kids were allowed to bring in snacks like goldfish and coloring books (best religious ones) to keep them from screaming. We had a kitchen in the church though...attached to the relief society (women) room.

I am a 24 year old named Jessica. At one point, we had a Jessica K., Jessica L., Jesse, and two Jennifers in my class. People also can’t seem to tell the difference between Jennifer and Jessica, especially for an Asian girl. Jennifer is a very very popular name for Asians. I would have loved to have had a more uncommon name like Felicity growing up. Spurgeon, not so much.

Felicity Smoak? Tech genius? Here’s hoping some of her badassery rubs off on baby Felicity.

But as much of a sick fucker Josh is and was, he was downright eloquent compared to some of the folks they align themselves with. Half the time I’m not sure what’s going on in their family friend Sarah Huckabee’s head and mouth. Josh had the family name, the publicity, the social and public speaking skills. He also had a nice home, a “successful” family run business, and a beautiful wife and family. Assuming Derick ever gets to that high, I’m sure he will crash even more spectacularly. The question is if he will ever get there.

Current wish is that they name her something that could be likened to a booze brand. Like how Belcalis > Bacardi > Cardi B They can name the baby Cardi V. Speaking of music, I remember almost dying with laughter when Nelly Furtado was huge and everyone was singing about being Promiscuous, and the moms at my (Mormon) church were so horrified that our entire Sunday school lesson was taught on promiscuity because of the song. What I wouldn’t give to have one of the lost girls singing about how “I got money moves”.

I’m not convinced that Jill won’t one day decide to pick up a chef’s knife and try to perform her own c sections.

Jinger and Jeremy don’t even look like they’re from the same family as this. Especially compared to that.

Have you guys ever been to or seen a traditional Chinese wedding? It’s sort of like the Duggar weddings in that we invite a bajillion people, and there’s no dancing. But that’s because we’re too busy shoveling in food and 53% white liquor to dance lol. Many people are no longer viewing weddings like this, but my family is very old fashioned (and materialistic and honestly kinda awful). Basically your wedding is for your parents. The bride and groom aren’t the center of attention. The parents pick nearly the entire list and it’s expected that the guests bring red envelopes filled with (a LOT) of lucky money. In my family, they expect $300 USD minimum. Otherwise, you will never be spoken to again and your name will be trashed everywhere as cheap. That part isn’t tradition lol, it’s just my family being assholes. But the trade off is - even if you are 2 pennies away from being broke, you better have big platters of meat and seafood there for the guests. Then when their kids get married, you will be paid in kind. Meanwhile, no one knows where TF the bride and groom are because n1crr. My aunt and uncle recently had a banquet to celebrate my new cousin’s 100 day birthday. They had lobster, abalone, fish, roast pork...I legit thought they were going to have to file for chapter 7 bankruptcy but they surprisingly made it all back in red envelopes. But, their favorite gift was the Minnie Mouse romper I got them. Yeah, my family knows that when I get married they get no say in the invites, it’s going to be 100 people, and we’re having a taco and donut bar.

This sounds horrible - but if Jill had died in childbirth, I can’t picture Derick feeling the utter devastation that we would if our spouses had died. Or even a fraction of his grief when his dad died. How could he, when they barely tolerate each other? He could pawn the kids off on a sister mom, play the part of the martyr, and he would have more material for his missions. The godly widower who lost his lovely god fearing wife because she’s too dumb to go to a doctor. Part of my job involves death certificates. I found one the other day where the cause of death was primarily tooth decay. Secondary cause was refusal to seek medical help. There we go.

I work in banking and the girl who trained me years ago moved up into the admin position for my district management. Good pay, but holy shit the stuff she does. She’s fully versed in the banking numbers, processes loan numbers and needs to be able to handle any banking complaint directed at the DMs, organizes every list and form for the entire district, plans picnics and parties, and also makes gift baskets while completely a full marketing audit. And that was just last friday. I wouldn’t be able to do it. I would be like Anne Hathaway in the first act of The Devil Wears Prada, searingly bad and then complaining nonstop.

I’m so curious about David and Karen Cartr-umm Katharine McPhee and when they started a romantic relationship. For those who don’t know, Kat was on season 5 of Idol and was runner-up, though many thought she was the rightful winner. Week 6, she was mentored by David and Andrea Bocelli, and forged a strong relationship with both. She’s worked super closely with David since then- she was part of his Hit Man special, and pops up fairly frequently considering she’s been in movies, two TV shows, and Broadway. I remember a couple years back, when Yolanda was off in Wakanda or Narnia injecting herself with organic natural tar or some shit, Kat had posted a video of her in David’s private jet or something heading to Asia for a performance. Im thinking we should have some good tea here.

How do you open a bottle?

There’s a new filter on IG stories this week that I’ve been loving, a Q&A and people are getting pretty into it. Amy did one, and it’s quite enlightening with how much shade was thrown. She was asked about her relationship with the Duggars since they’re so different, she replied “no comment :)”. She was asked for some dating tips and she replied to never date anyone with temper/anger issues bc you will be walking on eggshells your whole life. She was asked how many kids they want and she said 2, that way they can get plenty of quality time with mom and dad. She thinks 2 is a good number. She is not interested in any more reality TV. When asked which cousin she is closest with, she evaded the whole thing and said growing up she had a lot of school friends, and even when she was alone she was fine playing with her beanies omg. Yeah, I’m pretty sure something big went down between her and Boob. SPILL THAT TEA BISH. I live.

I used to work at IHOP and free pancake day was in March. We had two types of people come in. There were those who got their free short stack and water, and tipped a quarter. TFDW and Fab Fam did this, they have a photo of themselves preening for the camera as they all ate a short stack, including the kids who can barely chew. It’s on insta. Then there were people who would order a short stack, and then a latte, and bacon, and eggs. Take advantage of the promo while supporting the business. Or those who got a short stack and water to join in the fun, and then tipped $10. Generosity always wins in my books.

OOPS. its not my fault since whenever I think of the Duggars I also think of ?
